The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

It has been two days and one night since I woke up again.

I lay on the bed in the rented house and experienced the "ghost press" for a full 2 ​​minutes before I could barely move, and my whole body was sore as if it had fallen apart.Outside the window, there is no distinction between morning and evening, and there is a half glass of cold water on the bedside table.I gulped down the cold water, and sat on the edge of the bed for a while, feeling like an old lady who "gets up too soon and has a stroke", and finally stood up.

When I opened the door, my roommate and his girlfriend were sitting in the living room watching TV. When he looked up and saw me, he was startled: "Eh? Are you up?"

His girlfriend stood up from the sofa, took the cup in my hand, and said, "Shall I pour you some warm water?"

Me: "Thank you."

The roommate said: "You said you went out that day and there was no sound, and you didn't come back until late at night. I was scared to death. I thought something happened to you. You didn't answer the phone until midnight. A classmate sent you back, saying that you had a fever and fainted on the way, and sent you to the hospital for an infusion before bringing you back."

I think that person is probably Bian Yao, and the roommate continued: "Then you fell asleep and Lingling took care of you by pouring water and applying towels."

I hurriedly thanked: "That's right, I'm sorry to trouble you."

His girlfriend came back and handed me the water glass: "What's the matter, you guys don't know how to take care of others, and you don't know how to take care of yourself. I'm afraid I won't survive if I leave you to this fool."

The roommate laughed and said, "Oh, we won't live here anymore, what can you do?"

I said unexpectedly, "Eh? Are you moving out?"

"Yeah," said the roommate's girlfriend, "we're going to move out and find a one-bedroom together."

The roommate laughed: "Even if Mom and Dad have moved away, they still love you."

"Anyway, you often live together now," I didn't bother to talk to him, "but don't we still have a spare bedroom here, why don't we just move in?"

"You are stupid, the world of two people, do you understand the world of two people?" The roommate laughed, "And I'm afraid that Lingling will look at you often, which will cause me an aesthetic barrier."

"It's fine, fine," I said, "Forget me, I'm fine."

After sitting in the living room for a while, I finally recovered and decided to take a shower.As soon as I took off my clothes, I glanced into the mirror out of the corner of my eye, and suddenly saw a huge purple-black patch on my left shoulder, and suddenly woke up.Memories flooded into my mind like a flood - the chessboard, the golden dragon scissors, the demonized tentacles Gao Fan...

It's amazing, before I saw this bruise, everything in the chessboard enchantment seemed to be forgotten by me, and the recovery of this memory was like a mechanism opened——In the past two chaotic days, there are some memories The fragments emerged one after another.

When I was in a coma, besides my roommate and girlfriend who brought me water, it seemed that someone else woke me up—I vaguely remember a warm red light on my shoulder, and then that person fed me What kind of medicine did you take.

I reached out and touched my shoulder. Apart from a little muscle soreness, there was no pain anymore, but the accumulation of blood was a bit scary.I rushed out of the bathroom and asked, "Did anyone else visit me while I was unconscious?"

My roommate and girlfriend let out an unintelligible "Yo hoo!"

The roommate covered her face: "Why don't you wear a shirt, Lingling don't look at it!! It's all fake!"

The girlfriend avoided his hand in disgust, and replied, "I didn't see anyone coming, what's the matter?"

"Uh... maybe it's a hallucination."

She said: "When I went out to buy vegetables in the afternoon, the door of our house was locked and the key was still hanging on it. No one should have come."

I nodded, put the matter behind me, and let go of the entanglement.

At noon the next day, Bian Yao and I sat in the school cafeteria for dinner.

There are three canteens in our school, this is the smallest one, Bian Yao held his face and found a very remote corner as expected.

"It's rare, you actually want to take the initiative to find me." I also sat down opposite him, "Didn't you tell me not to bother you and be conspicuous?"

Bian Yao didn't change his face: "Do you think I want to talk to you?"

I moved closer and asked in a low voice, "So what happened to Gao Fan? Has he repented? Has he surrendered to the police?"

Bian Yao shook his head and said, "He has returned to his hometown."

"What? Home?"

Bian Yao nodded: "According to what Yao Jing's mother said, he seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and ran away rolling and crawling."

I didn't expect such an answer at all, and I was stunned: "Why is this..."

Bian Yao helped me recall: "At that time, you did break the shell that wrapped him, which was considered to have caused a certain impact on his body. But then you passed out directly and couldn't fight anymore. I immediately disintegrated the spiritual domain Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." He didn't seem particularly shocked: "It's impossible, there are too many uncontrollable factors this time, and I didn't expect you to suddenly enter the spiritual realm. You and I I’ve never cooperated before, so it’s pretty good to be able to do this.”

"What's good, who asked you to evaluate my battle!" I couldn't accept this result at all, "So there's nothing we can do about Yao Jing's matter?"

Gao Fan is still at large in the end, and the truth is lost in the hands of a few insiders. Yao Jing died in vain?

Bian Yao saw what I was thinking, and said, "Don't be cynical, or you're going to chase him to his hometown? Then what, beat him up and force him to admit his crime? Are you Batman?"

"Why do you all like to use Batman as an example so much... Wait, don't you lie to me again? You said before that your commission has been completed, and you pretended not to care at all. It turned out that I You didn’t see him at once, so you sneaked off to find Gao Fan!”

"You still have the nerve to talk about me, why did you promise me before?" Bian Yao put down his chopsticks a little helplessly: "That's right, when I see scum, I will have normal emotions, I will be angry and angry, and I will want to deal with them. But the reality is that not everything will be perfectly resolved as you wish. I have done what I can, and I will not spend too much energy on regretting things that are beyond the scope of my ability or out of control. Understand?"

"Wow, you look like an old man." I sighed, "So what do we do now?"

"'We' do nothing right now, you and me, not 'us'". Bian Yao picked up his chopsticks again and continued to scoop up noodles.

"It's so indifferent," I looked at him with dead eyes, and said in a deliberately eccentric tone, "I went through it once in my mind, we are all in that relationship, and we still say such heartless words."

Bian Yao looked at me and said in a flat to emotionless tone: "I wanted to ask you before, just when you were fighting... do you usually talk so much?"

He buried his head and continued to eat noodles, and I stared at him with piercing eyes. After being stared at for a while, Yao couldn't stand it and said, "What exactly do you want to ask!"

"What do you think? What do you think I will ask? Ask about your constellation blood type? Of course I want to ask what is going on in that chessboard world!" I shouted under my throat, "Also, how could you Turned into a pair of scissors? If I hadn't entered that enchantment, who would I become to use the golden scissors?"

Bian Yao lowered his head and looked at the chopped green onions floating in the bowl, as if he wanted to become one of them to avoid my question Shilian.After a long time, he sighed, raised his eyes and met my curious eyes again.

"If I don't explain clearly, you won't let me go, right?" Bian Yao asked without hope.

I nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you know."

Bian Yao looked left and right, took out four chopsticks from the chopsticks bucket and placed them on the table again, and said, "The enchantment you entered by accident before is called Lingyu, which is a parallel space where the spiritual body is embodied. This There are many ways to open this space, and there is an upper limit for the number of people it can accommodate and the maintenance time, which is determined according to the spiritual power of the person who opened the spiritual domain."

"I guess the appearance in the spiritual domain is also set according to the person who opened it?" I asked, "Do you like playing chess?"

Bian Yao replied: "I liked it when I was a child. The first time my spiritual barrier was stabilized, it was in the shape of a chessboard, and it has been maintained in that shape ever since."

"The world of the spiritual world is a world of words and spirits. In the real world, the power of words is often ignored by people-voathes, wishes, curses... These powers will be infinitely magnified in the spiritual world and form visible power. This This kind of power can protect people, hurt people, and change reality to a certain extent." Bian Yao said, "But the spirit of speech is not pure or pure, and it also contains negative and filthy powers. It's "impurities in the spirit of speech". You remember that after Gao Fan entered the spiritual realm, he uttered a lot of bad words. The impurities in his speech spirit resonated with the dark side of his soul, which intensified and became the monster you saw .”

"Tentacles." I nodded.

"Wait, when you were in the enchantment, you said that if you could cut off all the dark matter that grew on Gao Fan's body and expose his body, would his mind in the real world change accordingly?" I asked, "Then In other words, if we drag all the criminals into the spiritual domain to touch them, wouldn't there be no bad guys in this world?"

"You think well, and you still want to maintain world peace?" Bian Yao showed a mocking expression—since he gave up the disguise of "gloomy and introverted boy", his mouth became more and more poisonous. "The effect of this kind of change is limited. If the soil is damaged, no matter how much the branches are pruned, the newly grown crops will also be damaged. But it is true that the hypnosis of the subconscious mind has a great influence on the spiritual body, but it is a A detailed and magnificent project, you don't understand."

"Why can't I understand...Okay, okay, keep talking"

"In most cases, in order to maximize the effect of the word spirit, everyone will choose to enter the spiritual domain together with their own spiritual deeds. Don't interrupt me, I will explain." Bian Yao raised his finger to warn me, "The spiritual deed It is similar to the concept of a team partner, for example, when we faced Gao Fan before, the two of us inexplicably formed a spiritual bond." He pronounced the words inexplicable very heavily, as if gnashing his teeth.

"Under the contract of Lingyu, you become the 'jumper body' who takes action, and I become the weapon in your hands. It's just..." He sighed a little annoyed, frowning: "It's just that the spirit The formation of a contract is actually not that easy. First of all, there must be an absolute fit between the art body and the weapon, otherwise the process of running in will be very difficult, and the maximum effect that can be stimulated in the end is also very limited. Generally speaking, the spirit body will be chosen My childhood sweethearts have been trained together since childhood, or brothers and sisters who are related by blood as partners, and the process of forming a spiritual contract also has to go through a complicated ceremony, I've never seen you being caught and used like this!"

At the end of his speech, he suddenly got a little excited, and I quickly said, "Don't be angry, I don't understand, I'm just a newbie."

After digesting what he said just now, I didn't have any thoughts and said, "Is this spiritual deed complicated? The key point is that I don't think we are a good match? You still play the knife."

Bian Yao gave me an angry look: "I want to put the knife on your head right now."

This old man usually looks tepid, why is he so irritable, I thought to myself.He asked: "So according to the situation at the time, if you catch me instead, will I also become some kind of weapon? Will it be cool?"

"No, you're a monkey. You're not bad as a physical body, but you can hardly make a spiritual weapon. At best, you are a plastic fork like a bucket of noodles." He said with a strong sense of revenge.

I turned around in my mind twice, first thinking about whether I had been scolded, and then sure that I was definitely being scolded, and retorted: "You are a monkey!"

Bian Yao asked me in confusion, "Aren't your ancestors apes?"

"Huh? What's your name?" I put on a vicious expression, "Who's ancestor wasn't an ape, wasn't Einstein's ancestor a caveman? It's as if your ancestor was a unicorn..."

As I was talking, the momentum suddenly disappeared, and Bian Yao didn't say anything, just looked at me quietly.

My voice became smaller and smaller: "What do you mean by looking at me like that... Wait, is it possible that you are really not...human?"

After I finished speaking, I closed my mouth and stared at him suspiciously, only the shape and name of Jin Jiaojian hovered in my mind.

Bian Yao paused for a moment when he heard the words, a strange light flashed in his eyes, at that moment, the amber eyes behind his lenses turned light yellow, and the pupils shrank into a thin cat-like line.

This change lasted less than a second, the snake's eyes disappeared, and his eyes returned to human form.The cafeteria was still noisy, and no one saw it except me.

I stayed.

Bian Yao pushed his glasses, the reflection of the lens covered his drooping eyelashes, and he continued to fish for noodles with a normal expression.After taking two bites, he said in a very calm voice: "So if you dare to bother me again in the future, I will swallow you in one bite."
